Tirumular Materials

In Tirumular's Tantra, the human body is a living temple, awaiting the realization and awakening of divine consciousness within it. In the scriptures, Tirumular describes the tempering of the physical body using yogic techniques.

A guru (spiritual preceptor) is described by Tirumular as an illuminator who imparts knowledge and helps the disciple glow with spiritual wisdom. Because Siddha gurus have realized the Self, there is no distinction between the guru and Shiva, the Lord. At the same time, Tirumular describes Shiva as pure sound vibration, light and fire that ultimately dissolve into unified consciousness. To realize Shiva is to realize oneself as the eternal flame of Spirit. The gurus of Siddha serve as links in a chain, connecting practitioners to the immortal Siddha masters and to Lord Shiva, the divine fire.

He tells us that the highest goal in life is the attainment of the love of God. This is possible only through our loving attitudes toward other beings without any discrimination. The Tirumantiram is dedicated not only to the advancement of the individual, but to the welfare of all existence. Tirumular teaches us that 'bliss shared is bliss multiplied.'
